VMS Help System Services, $QIOW  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Queue I/O Request and Wait service queues an I/O request to a
    channel associated with a device.

    The $QIOW service completes synchronously; however, Digital
    recommends that you use an IOSB with this service to avoid
    premature completion.

    For asynchronous completion, use the Queue I/O Request ($QIO)
    service.

    In all other respects, $QIOW is identical to $QIO. For more
    information about $QIOW, refer to the description of $QIO.

    On Alpha systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.
